The disappointment was strong from that TdS, especially people talking about Cunego losing overall because of the stage Sagan won and beat him.

Now we're at 2009 pages for the 2009 Tour domination and slaying the old giant.

Nice of Sagan to decide to commemorate that day this year when he decided not to win the Slovak Nationals and therefore rode his first non-TT, non-nationals races in team issue colours since that day.
 
Anyone knows why he likes so much the Selvino? Some days ago he posted on Instagram that "it's always a pleasure to ride in Italy and even more here at Selvino" [cit.] and yesterday during an interview for Sky Sport he said that it's one of his favourite climbs and he climbs it everytime he can in trainings.

Yesterday after he said that and then he tipped Froome as his favourite for the Giro and van der Poel for the Worlds (after asking to the interviewer if the percours in Switzerland will be hard) i literally thought "what the f***k he's saying".

He looks better than when he was active. We'll have to wait a few months for his numbers' assessment.
Rumor has it he set a new personal record on his test climb before leaving for Colombia. A shame he fell ill as he surely would have crushed this race but at least he lost a couple of pounds over the last few days or so we assume.

On a serious note, I saw some pictures pop up from early 2018 a few weeks ago. Gods he was pudgy then.

Those dudes are probably used to eat 5,000 kcal a day and that's probably harder to quit than riding the bike for 4-5h a day.
